Spell_Slam on Aphemia, the Freaky Zombchantress - Primer

2 years ago

I play Aphemia in my 99 in my Ramses Overdark EDH deck. I've been really impressed with the incremental value she can create over the course of the game.

One particular synergy I liked with her was using enchantments on the opponent's creatures, then destroying them for additional benefits.

Minion's Return , Shade's Form , Unholy Indenture , and Unhallowed Pact all fit into this category.

Something like Casting of Bones could allow you to refuel your hand and potentially put two enchantments into the graveyard.

Yoke of the Damned is good along the same lines. It will pretty consistently kill the creature within one turn cycle, especially if you have some spare zombies and a political ally. Seal of Doom is more convenient, but is more expensive and hits less creatures.

Nighthowler is excellent for your deck. It has been one of my main win conditions. It's even better when you play it on Aphemia since she has evasion and can one-shot someone easily with the Nighthowler and Commander Damage.

I would include a few more ways to kill creatures, including spot removal and board wipes. Kindred Dominance seems great for you. Extinguish All Hope conveniently spares your commander and many of your creatures.

Have you considered Ramses Overdark in case you don't draw Dismiss into Dream ?

Ramses Overdark
Legendary creature - Human Assassin

When ~ enters the battlefield, destroy target creature. If an opponent controls an enchanted creature, instead choose a number and destroy all creature with that converted mana cost.

4/3

The most highly skilled assassin in the Dimir is specialized in bypassing magical protections. Even Massacre Girl envies his efficiency.

Same challenge or wildcard.

Boza on Tetsuo and Teferi (**Dominaria Spoilers**)

Except that the Gatewatch is currently 2/6ths of itself, the mana systems do not work like before (Tetsuo dropped a Meteor Hammer on Bolas' palace to destroy his source of mana and make him unable to planeswalk, a trick he used with Ramses Overdark too).

Coward_Token on Any Arachnus combos?

6 years ago

Arachnus Spinner lets you put Arachnus Web from your library or graveyard as long as it's in either and you have the spiders to tap. Does this combo with anything? All could think of is constellation and Ramses Overdark (& Feast of Dreams) for recuring triggers/removal but that doesn't seem too exciting (especially with Ramses).

I'm no expert on the pauper format, but I'm pretty sure you can't run Ramses Overdark in such a deck, as it's only been printed at uncommon (online) and rare (paper).

Unfortunately no, it won't work. If the target of a spell or ability becomes illegal then it can't be affected by that spell/ability (and if all of a spell/ability's targets become illegal then it gets countered by the rules of the game). If you return Field of Reality to your hand and the creature you targeted has no other enchantments attached to it then it's no longer an "enchanted creature". It isn't a legal target for Ramses Overdark's ability.
